Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a word (most likely it's a verb or a collocation) which means that one person is aspiring to take someone else's position at work in order to finally occupy this position using intrigues, setting up other people, etc. For example I may want to become head of a department, but someone else, my competitor, has already taken over and then I start doing different things "to overthrow" him. Could you please help me find the word describing such actions?
Here's what I've found so far:
1. You can work calmly, I'm not going to hold you up.
2. I liked the place of my work and soon I became to tie up my boss.
3. Don't worry too much as I'm not here to take your job.
